thanks man Cool

Im currently in a vocational program for marine mechanics, we're the only one in the country. We had a rep come in and was talking about it plus my instructor has had alot of kids head that way.

What are you planning on doing now?

Take it easy,
Ben

I don't know about know but MMI's used to be mostly outboards and rigging. Some guys that went there made an old Check Mate ski and fish that I used to own haul ass I was clocked at 83mph on east lake Toho. I used to win so much money racing high $ bass bouts with that little 17ft pos.

Wrecked it on the St. Johns river after fishing trying to run from a storm. I was doing about 65mph and hit something in the water. Busted the sear pin on the prop and the boat cavitated lost control and hit the bank. Spent from 7:30pm to 11:30pm waiting on help to find us my handheld gps was lost in the crash, so I had no way to tell my buddies how to find me. I thought I was going to be gator or water moccasin dinner. Boat sank trying to bring it back to the nearest boat ramp which was like 10 miles from where I crashed it. We towed it about half way and it started to take on water then after a bout and hour of that the batteries shorted out lost the bilge pumps and down she went.
